Hey guys, at the expense of sounding stupid, please educate me - if a company A pays you a salary X to do your fucking job Y and if you use that money and time on activities Z, especially if it negatively affects company A's image / revenues, why shouldn't the company be allowed to fire you as they're losing significant revenues because you didn't fulfil your contractual obligation to perform Y that you're paid X for?

I'm not taking sides nor talking about what's right, what's wrong, or whether you agree with the company's way of handing something or not. I'm talking simply from a contractual standpoint that you signed on the day of your employment.

If you don't like it, why don't you just quit and then sue the company instead?
